Reserve an Amsterdam hostel and enjoy the Dance Valley festival

If you think of the summer then the first thing that might spring to mind are festivals.

On August 7th the Dance Valley Festival kicks off in the Netherlands so make sure you have your flights sorted and your Amsterdam hostel booked.

It's the biggest open air dance music festival in Holland and there are plenty of areas to go, so finding something that takes your fancy should not be a problem.

Dance music enthusiasts might recognise names such as Ida Engberg, Dada Life and Goldfish who will all be mixing it up on the main stage and hopefully impressing.

The organisers reckon the "look, feel and the sound will definitely exceed your wildest imagination". They urge people to prepare for some magic to happen as it "is also the place where everybody comes together to enjoy the last bombastic set of Dance Valley 2010."

But booking a cheap hostel in Amsterdam near the Spaarnwoude Recreation Ground is a good plan if you want to ensure you don't need to travel too far.

The event began in 1995 with around 8,000 visitors turning out to see what it was all about. But it's certainly expanded a lot since then and more than 60,000 visitors are expected this year which should hopefully add to the excitement and buzz of the day.

Other top artists set to wow crowds at the festival include the act Bingo Players, who are made up of duo Paul Baumer and Maarten Hoogstraten. And if you like what you see at this event then you can check them out across the US.
